Golden Experience

Episode 175 "Black Company"

The dungeon management was also on track, and the three Rae, Blanc and Lyla had gathered in the Oral Royal Castle conference room because each wanted to do a paragraph.

"Um, Mr. Lyla. Can I leave a zombie in this castle? It's so hard to fly."

"Oh, right. I beg you, too. Ali or whatever, but if Blanc's going to be a zombie, I'll fit in too."

"Maybe. Come on, you two don't like me? There's someone else. The kind that doesn't smell! I mean, Rae," Chan, "even today you've normally been warping for the archbishop!

Resistance successful.

"Lyla, what have you done now?

"... nothing else?

"... well, no. I'll ask later.

But considering the location and location, I think it would be better if this group gathered in the future in the city of Reflexion, which I rule. "

"Refresh... is this the nearest city to Oral Hills? I suppressed it there."

"I'm not suppressing you. I just put the city under control peacefully. It was the grasslands next door that controlled it."

"Does purposefully dominating that city mean you're also going to dominate the economy from the human side? Not bad? I run a dungeon by the demon."

"That would be mutual. Lyla, aren't you even thinking about dominating some kind of realm boss and dungeon ranch or something? You were eating when we talked about the ranch before."

"... I can't follow the story at all. Ah, this waffle is delicious."

Bran is stuck away from the conversation.

Lyla, who was praised for receiving tea, reacted.

"Isn't it? I tried it in Liège style."

"What happened to the waffle iron? Did you make it?

"I have to make that. By the way, it's made of Mithrill, which I got rewarded for the event. It is super convenient because it does not rust and has high thermal conductivity. Is this really aluminum or something? It's light. It has a high affinity for magic, so if we could just give it fire attributes, we could cook it. I've never done it before."

As we generally know about the nature of Mithril, but it's the first ear about its affinity with magic. I wonder how Lila looked into it.

"Uh yeah. I don't know what to do. I got it too, but I don't cook."

Rae has received a misrill ingot as a special reward, and these two have received a top prize reward.

It can't just be that effect while bearing the famous magic metal name, but isn't it a lot of metal if it's to the extent that Lyra uses it for cookware? I think Adamann has some comparable performance.

"Well. If you enjoyed waffles, should we get down to business?

It's been three weeks since the huge update called Transfer Services, and I was wondering if we should share or exchange information with 'Chan' once here. I got a paragraph on the project I was working on, and Rae and the others are just settling in, aren't they?

"Uhi?

Blanc is stiff. It seems Lyla did something again.

I'd like to inquire, but I won't be able to talk about it, so I'll be patient.

The purpose of this tea party is to share information. I'm going to bother you for a while, and you're probably willing to explain later.

When it comes to calming the situation, you're right.

Among rare dominated areas, player visitors are about the former King Hills Capital, Lacorine, and the Teuer Meadows, but every area has grown sales well.

The number of high-ranking materials distributed to the players has also increased in exchange, but the excess is minimized by allowing the family NPC merchants to buy it in the safety area right next door.

The same is true of the Greater Tarantella yarn in La Corine. A Ulban family merchant was sent to La Corinne, dressed to hear from a player Gustave knew in King's Landing, to build a home town in La Corinne's nearest safety area.

There seemed to be a lot of players out there who originally came looking for yarn to sell to NPC, but if you put a higher price on that seller NPC, you can curb the unnecessary spread of the material.

Do the players think the material they sold to NPC will disappear, and no one mentions what happened after this one was bought?

The economic activity of the city of Rifle is also good. Exterior walls have also been added, and the central district is conveniently referred to as District 1 and the exterior side as District 2.

Most players have much more gold coins than the average NPC, although not as good as merchants and aristocrats. Fished by its assets, or many NPCs had also moved to the city of Rifle. And the city as a whole was also more vibrant only for the increased NPC, which called for further immigration.

Although there is the anxiety element of the annihilation of the Hills kingdom, which is spoken of in passion, the reflex, which is local, is close to aural. The influx of immigrants doesn't know where to stay, whether it's a decision they should flee into the Oral Domestic if they have to, or whether the glow of gold coins is what they deserve to bet their lives on.

In addition, Refreshment has no handlers or prospects, and many refugees come with a sweet estimate that if people are gathered, they will manage.

But they are also ready to support them in their lives.

Herb cultivation started in the shallow layers of the adjacent dungeon, the Teuer Meadow.

It was in the beginning that I let the engineer ants who brought me from the Reebe Great Forest take care of me, but if there is a flashing workforce in the city, I have no hands not to use it.

The Lord Alberto has decided to launch a herbal cultivation business and to work in the dungeon, which is causing the refugees to cultivate, harvest, process and sell on a daily allowance with higher hazard allowances.

Because it is a dungeon, or something, various herbs grow very quickly.

Normally there is probably a lot of bug and beast damage, or harm caused by demons, but it is an area that is completely dominated by Rare anyway. Demons have no problem if you don't let them near this area.

Harm caused by normal insects cannot be avoided, but this one can be prevented by installing insect repellents created from Camphartrent leaves in 'Alchemy'. It is also mass-produced in the artisanal district of the city of Rifle, and this is also sold at high prices for the outside world.

Speaking of refugees in the first place, they are probably those born because Rae and Blanc destroyed many cities. The city they were in is already under Rare's control, so there's nothing they can't say is Rare's property. It's just the difference between alive or dead. Naturally, I will protect you generously.

Some will have spent nearly a month crossing the country.

Considering that physical and economic strength may be bottoming out, the refugees are also lent by the Urban Chamber of Commerce without interest. Temporary accommodation, such as longhouses, can also be prioritized.

Naturally, they all register their household registrations and manage their location and repayment exactly.

Those who owe money are referred by the Urban Chamber of Commerce to drug cultivation, which is a state business, and become a workforce.

I talked about such a thing.

"─ ─ I wonder if that's what I feel like. It's probably going pretty well. There are a few other projects in progress."

"I suppressed the refresh because the entrance and exit of the metastasis were close, right?

"That's right. If there are other cities with the same specifications, they can travel long distances. The economic value is immeasurable."

"As a matter of fact, I hold onto the city with the same specifications as the Oral. A city called Felicita. I call it the portal for convenience. If Rare is holding the Hills portal, maybe we should gather for a refresher when we have a similar meeting in the future."

"... right. Then I shall call it a portal, too."

"Doctor, I don't understand!

"Portal means doorway or entrance or exit."

"Not in the sense of the word!

He explained to Blanc the special nature of the city of Rifle and the fact that there was one city of similar specifications in Oral and would exist in other countries as well.

"Hah. Is metastasis so convenient? If you use the Summon Monster well, you can warp anywhere, fly in the sky, and never think about it."

"Many players can't warp on their own, and the sky can't fly."

I see. Whatever warp is, I'd be in trouble if I could fly in and attack. "

"It's pretty hard to be warped on your own, though.

What about Lyla? Simulation of national operations and progress on the ranch. "

"Oh, right.

As far as state management is concerned, it's probably the same with the Rare dungeons. This one doesn't run out of safety areas. It doesn't change the death penalty instead.

I guess the original purpose of running a state is for the life and happiness of the people, but it's none of my business as a player like that. So the framework is available as a system, but the goals to be achieved and so on are ambiguous.

If you dare to set goals for gameplay, maybe make the state stronger.

So I decided to merge the surrounding cities first!

Simply thinking about it, it's quick and easy to forcefully merge with overwhelming military power.

But how many cities have a degree of independence, and if we suppress small competitions to the point of total suppression, our country will come out and become an all-out war.

I wish I could still win, but some countries are getting a little tough, and even if I win, other countries won't shut up.

That's why I decided to invade by more obscure and gentle means.

I mean, economic war.

However, in the world situation so far, economic activity has been completed within each country, with each country almost close to its clan. There's some trade, but there's no such thing as decent balance-of-payments calculations, and even if there were, it's about whether there's a lord who cares about profits and losses at the city level.

So honestly, no matter how much economic power we had in the current situation, it doesn't really affect power relations between states.

Each city trades independently, and no one cares if it's their own city or a neighboring city.

Because it has country-specific characteristics and different races, it's certainly foreign in that sense, but on the other hand, it speaks the same language and the currency is common. Therefore, they have a weak awareness that they are interacting with foreign countries.

I mean, depending on what you think, you can also say that the economic community of this continent has no borders.

So... "

"Long"

"Oh, have some tea."

Blanc is completely tired of waffles and tea.

I heard this place eats fruit tarts and royal milk tea for breakfast every day, but how dare you eat all that sweet stuff.

"... well, for now, I spent about half a month 'serving' all the lords in the Oral to intensify trade with the cities of the surrounding countries, committed to creating a strong nation of one rock.

In parallel, we may be building streets, crushing areas and reducing transaction risks.

Then I added more monster family members and instructed them to break into the dungeon when they were free. I don't suppress dungeons, but let players kill them to earn experience and hunt dungeon fish. That's what Rare is talking about, isn't it?

Realm Crushing used the Knights to promote it alot, as well as the appeal that Oral was investing in trade.

I showed that by developing the streets, and by trying it out first, I also scatter agricultural products for free.

Others may use monsters under their control to attack nearby fields, or disguise the Knights as bandits to steal food. There were cities where the Knights were no longer needed because of the collapse of the realm, so I got a new job. "

"I was impressed to hear that I wasn't sure until the end, but the last one was too bad!

"Don't do it in Hills. I'm not going to kill the rest of the people and weaken the country."

"We're an agricultural power. Because it would be more profitable for the rest of the people to live and buy our crops. If it was a city near the border, it would be faster and cheaper to buy from us than to buy food from the center of that country or something. Currency together.

Sadly, bandits sometimes attack people, but they keep it to a minimum so they don't die. If you get injured and lose productivity, your sales will grow. And as long as the wounded don't die, we need food. "

I can tell you it's the guts inside that Lyla calls Oral an agricultural giant.

Depending on the region, the hills were quite good for agriculture. It was Lyla who killed the royal family of the Hills and stabbed the nation to death.

As we talked about, not all deals will stop even if Hills disappears as a nation, because exchanges are predominant between cities rather than between nations, but there are reputations, etc. It shouldn't have had any impact at all.

"Ah, if you are an agricultural power, please fruit!

I noticed recently that my junior vampire kids are dying regularly and I thought I was starving to death.

Speaking of which, I'm not breathing blood or anything. "

He says a lot about Lyla as if she was a bastard, and he says to Rare that she looks just like her, but even from this remark, I can glimpse Bran's curiosity.

Apparently, Rare is the only decent one.

"... Bran-chan, isn't that terrible? There are enough of them in the black environment. I can sue you.

"No, 'cause the Zombie Village kids don't seem to need a meal or anything, and so does the vampire."

"Bran must be a vampire, too, right? I enjoy fruit tarts and milk tea for breakfast, and that's no excuse."

Undead basically don't need to eat or drink, except for vampires.

Rather, perhaps strictly speaking, vampires are not undead frames.

In the end, Erntal talked about importing fruit from Oral on a regular basis.

There is a considerable distance, but once carried by carriage to the reflex, from the reflex Blanc uses the 'summons' to bring it back.

Including that, we decided to put Bran's family in Refreshment, and the next similar meeting will take place in Refreshment City.

They say Lyla will be transferred from the Oral Portal, Felicita.

"Oh, speaking of which.

I may have already tried, but if you're acting like you're transferring your spirit to your own family, you can use the transfer service as it is. Even NPCs. "

"Really? It said that NPCs are not available in principle."

"What is the principle..."

"Well, as a general rule, if there is, it may or may not be flagged. If it weren't, I'd definitely describe it."

"Then there's no constraint on having to act in concealment. When you go to reflex, you can borrow your family's body and go with patience. Let's borrow Zeziglia's body."

"More sneak."

"I'm kidding, Rare."

Successful Resistance

For the time being, Lyla tells Bran, who she is and who she is, that she is the current queen of Orals.

"Be careful when pretending to be a player, as the inventory isn't going to work. It seems to be tied to the main unit."

The inventory of the previous family member who moved the spirit cannot also be used.

But that doesn't have to be said.

I don't think this member would mind anymore, but I have a little anxiety about Blanc.

I haven't been able to say much about people in law, but I can't even say enough that it won't be outrageous with pokamis.

So what about Bran's dungeon management? Except for the food problem, right?

Exactly. Players who get too close to my Mansion will be dealt with by the Azareas, and things are going well for now. It seems that Diaz, who borrows it from Rare, sometimes goes out and plays with the players.

The Zombie Village is also a hunting ground for beginners, but well, I'm just leaving it there, and I don't have any trouble where it's been wiped out.

If the players who earn and grow up come to Erntal, they'll be good customers. "

"... will it increase the difficulty if the starvation death of lower vampires improves?

"... I wonder. Bran, are you starving to drop your stats?

"No, more periodically than that, it means you're always fighting with a few tens of millions of lives down. Doesn't it make it more difficult to be a full member if you're usually less powerful?

"Um, I wonder if you feel weaker because you're hungry. I don't know more than that."

"Even if it is expressed with the same difficulty, there is a wide range, for example, if you are a full member, it is about 4 3, and if you are militarily weakened, it may be about 2 3"

"Ah, it's wide. I see."

"I see."

Has this largely resulted in the completion of the status report?

Most of the waffles have been eaten.

I'm full of hungry gauges, but even so, I can eat something else.

Rae silently pushed the empty plate towards Lila.

"... yes."

Lyla gives the maid a plate and the maid exits.

I thought it was a familiar maid, but that's probably the maid who was once replaced by Princess Zezilia.

"She doesn't have to be around the queen?

"I don't have the political support. I am usually taken care of like this.

Well, I guess this is the best way to report on the status quo.

And then there's some kind of useful exchange of information or something, but who has that?

"I taught you a pretty serious little story earlier, so that's enough."

"How do family members use the transfer service? I don't know if it's big or small."

"Ah! I was! Speaking of which, here comes Ernthal, a player of Rare's robotic hardness! It was about three weeks ago."

"Isn't it too late to say? I know."

"What's a robot? Rae, do you have a robot? What do you mean?"
